Alta
December 2026–February 2027
1. The season ahead
NOAA seasonal probability bands
Precipitation: Equal chances
Temperature: Equal chances
Issued Aug 20, 2026 · Use before Sep 17, 2026 (UTC)
Regional temperature and precipitation signals, not snowfall totals or your ski-week forecast. NOAA percentages are lower edges of probability bands; equal chances favors no category. CanSIPS uses a coarse 1° grid, and rounded percentages may not sum to 100. NOAA bands and CanSIPS category probabilities use different displays; do not rank mountains by comparing those percentages.
What is normal at Alta? Monthly climate baseline
NOAA’s 1991–2020 station normals put seasonal outlooks in context. These are historical averages, not this winter’s forecast or the exact regional thresholds used by NOAA’s outlook. Seasonal precipitation odds cannot be converted into inches of snow.

Years show contributing records, not a promise of 30 complete years. Standard: at least 24 years; missing months may be filled. Representative: at least 10 years with gaps filled using nearby stations. Provisional: at least 10 years with gaps unfilled. Estimated: statistically estimated from shorter records. Nonzero values rounded to zero retain that source flag.
Pass context is for one skier; your group may hold different passes. Enter the group’s confirmed lift cost below. A pass selection does not automatically make that cost zero.
